Hints, Tips & Tricks
Rare Ghost
The Rare Ghost can only be seen in specific parts of the castle. The easiest is in the room below the Clock Tower B warp point. Keep entering and exiting the room until you see it. Note: It will appear twice every twenty times at the very least. Once it sees you, it will run.

Defeating Evil Maxim
You must be at level of 45 or higher. In the start of the battle, equip the Wind Book and use the Punch sub-weapon to give off a short blast that does 300 damage or more. This is very helpful when Maxim powers up and shoots copies of himself. Keep using it until he stops. The rest of his attacks should not give you to much trouble. Note: Items like Elixir and High Mana Prism are useful for this battle.
